Communication Trainer

Exceptional communicator wanted

• Well-paid contract role in your area, if you’re close to a major city
• Up to 4 courses per week, depending on client demand
• Must have deep knowledge of business communication, writing and adult education.

Is this your story?

You have:

• A passion for clear communication 
• University qualifications in communications, media, PR or copywriting (or equivalent)
• 5+ years experience as a corporate writer, copywriter or journalist
• 3+ years experience as a trainer, educator or coach
• The credibility and ability to work with senior blue-chip clients.

Be part of our story!

You’re rare: You’re a strong communicator and a great presenter.

Most people are one or the other. But you do both. Ridiculously well.

This is your golden opportunity to combine the two things you excel at. (You even noticed that ending with a preposition.)

We’re booked solid. We need you! 

Our clients are top corporates with high standards and expectations. All our work comes from repeat business and referrals.

That means every course you run has to be the best course you’ve ever run.

But that won’t faze you. In fact, it’ll keep you interested.  

Dashes & slashes?

Teaching writing, influence and presenting isn’t dry, because the best trainers make it all about psychology.

Great communication is about attention, comprehension and retention. And you’re all over it. 

Of course, what you don’t know about the technicalities of writing could be written on an apostrophe. But you also understand that quality communication depends more on empathy, influence and leadership.

Cue: YOU

Are you this exceptional communicator? Are you ready to step up?

Location: Your major city.

Our expansion is a work in progress, but ideally we’d like to have trainers spread far and wide, not just in one city. Currently, though, we’re in Sydney.
